sorry, I mean processor while I said core here. the price is get from
online shop, so ,they already give a discount , that is the reason less
than 47K. The thing is I only need the feature of Oracle standard
Edition plus a partition option because we may have very big tables.

I am not sure if I can apply Standard Edition plus partition option or
not ...

Jesus, Oracle database price is so expensive , Can any one tell me when
their financial year begin ?

Thanks a lot.

Are you sure on that price? My understanding was that the price was
approximately 47,5000 per processor, not per core. For their
licensing support, a core equals .5 of a processor, so, if you have a
single CPU that has dual-core, then you have 1 Processor to license.
If your CPU is one of the new quad cores, that one CPU equals 2
Processor licenses. That does not count support after the first year,
which normally runs you about 20% of the license cost.

But, as was stated in the first reply, look for a reseller, for your
discount.
